Would You Still Call Me Superman? Chapter 6

FROM ME: Sorry I was too lazy to write, plus I had a lot of homework

Rose landed on a cold floor. It was very dark and only a few lit up glass balls. Rose got up and brushed herself off. She started pounding on the wall with both fists. She wanted to go home. Suddenly a flash of light blinded her and she fell to the ground. Typha with her ghostly tail wrapped around Danny's chest and arms emerged into the dark room. Rose looked around. Typha made the room a little brighter, also with Danny too. She noticed on a small table there was an hourglass with purple sand.

"Where are we?" Rose demanded. Typha however, just laughed. "You'll find out." She chuckled. The she rose into the air with such speed it was scary. Her hand started to glow green. She glared at Danny. He turning invisible and escaped Typha's grasp. Typha exploded with rage. "Where did you go? I swear you better show up or you're girl friend is going to get it worse than she will ever get anything in her life!" she screamed. Rose felt an invisible hand drop on her shoulder. She immediately knew Danny was there and he was apologizing. Slowly, Danny appeared behind her. His head drooped. Typha laughed. "I knew you'd do that just for her." She continued to raise her hands and then she thrust them at Danny. Danny closed this eyes preparing for pain. Nothing happened. "Oh wait a minute sorry, wrong thing." Typha gulped. Then she rose again with great speed. Her hands glowed red this time, she thrust them at Danny and he was forced against the wall. Chains formed around his arms, legs, and unfortunately for Danny, his neck.

Rose gasped. Typha laughed. Danny tried desperately to get out. "You'll never...get away with this!" then he felt very strong pressure in his body that made him go tired. Rose heard his arms and legs drop and bang against the wall. Typha laughed manically. "She is STILL going to get more than she will ever get in her life! You stupid, stupid child!" she was laughing very hard now. Tears streaked down her face and she clutched her ghostly stomach. Rose traced a circle on the concrete floor. "He's not stupid..." she said aloud. Typha turned to her. "Get up child, and say that to my face!" she said. She thrust a hand up in the air and Rose flew up in the air and then down again in front of her. Rose gulped as she gazed in Typha's eyes. But still, she had to do, what she had to do. "He's not stupid. He gave his life to me." She didn't look at Danny. "What? By showing himself? That was stupid don't you see sister Rosita?" Typha pointed threateningly at Danny. "You don't know what's in store for you, child. And neither does he." She continued. Rose took a step towards Danny. "Well, by showing himself," another step toward him, "I at least know he's here," she took another step, still looking at the floor, "and we will find out what happens together." She could hear and feel Danny's breath now. She held on of the chains but quickly let go. It burned her fingers! Typha laughed. "Burns doesn't it." She snorted. Rose ignored her. She took one of Danny's hands and felt a jump inside her. "At least I know, he's always right here." She said. She leaned close to him and kissed his lips. She felt a surge go through her, and also felt Danny feel stronger. He didn't look hopeless anymore. His green eyes started to glow again. She released and then pushed away a piece of his hair from his face. "Never give up." She whispered in his ear.

Typha grabbed Rose and took her away from Danny. "Well what's your face, bring... it... on." Danny said. He glared at her. Typha glared at him. Rose looked at Danny then Typha, then to Danny and then to Typha. It was like some sort of movie when 2 people are glaring at each other from opposite sides, and they go to one person's side, then the others. She always thought it was funny, and Danny and Typha doing it was especially funny. She giggled. That unfortunately reminded Typha of her plans. "You think that's funny Rosita?" Typha screamed. "It's ROSE. How do you know I'm your sister anyway, just because I look like her doesn't mean I AM her!" Rose said. "Well you are and to prove it..." Typha flew over to the table with the hourglass. "This..." she said staring at the hourglass like it was the most sacred thing in the world. She started laughing manically again. "Is the Death Hourglass. It was given to me on the day of my death. The unknown face who handed it over said it was my destiny to keep this and find my sister. And finally after all these years, this unknown force has brought me to you." She rubbed her hands together as if getting ready for a very good meal. "And I brought your little boyfriend with me also to watch you..." she didn't finish. "You didn't bring my boyfriend," Rose piped up. Danny had to admit to himself that he felt a stab of envy. Typha looked at her with curiosity. "What are you talking about? You just kissed him!" she said. Danny blushed. "Yes you are correct. I did kiss him. He may be the boy I like, but not my boyfriend." Rose said. She found it hard to look at anybody when she said this.

"But that doesn't make sense." Typha said. "Oh yes it does. My boyfriend is back in town. He doesn't know anything of this..." she put her hands behind her back. "Ah, cheating on him eh?" Typha said with a smile. "No!" Rose stomped her foot. "Well, enough talk! I haven't got all day!" Typha said. She thrust up her arms for the third time since they've arrived in this strange room. They began to glow blue. "WAIT!" Danny shouted. Rose had cringed ever since Typha's hands had risen and her eyes were closed. She popped them open. Typha sighed. "You didn't tell us what this hourglass does." Danny said. He started to get tired again. Typha didn't lower her glowing blue hands. "I don't have time for this!" she said. She threw her hands at Rose and blue steams rushed to her body. Rose screamed and fell to the ground. Typha laughed manically again. Danny started to fly but the chains held him back. He tried to faze through the chains but as he guessed, he couldn't. Rose was dead. Danny knew this because her ghost rose out of her body, as Typha's hand rose.

Danny felt a burst of sadness go through him. His vision blurred as tears sprang. He was ready to choke on them. He blinked them back and saw Typha grasp Rose's ghost. The young ghost looked very scared. Danny looked down at Rose. She looked like she did when she fainted. Only now she was really dead!

Now, as the narrator of this story, I must interrupt for a minute to say that it was Typha that made her faint. She saw Rose's surprised reaction when she suddenly thought of Danny as cute. Danny had turned ghost to make sure, and Typha disappeared, angry as Danny turned to ghost mode. Okay back to story.

Typha, laughing of course, watched as Rose's ghost sucked into the hourglass. The frightened ghost shrunk and watched terrified as the purple sand was dropping over her. "Nooooooooooo!!!" Danny screamed as he watched Rose getting buried in purple powder. He shut his eyes.

....AT THE PARK....

Sam tripped over the tree root. She was now able to be seen by Paulina and Andrew. Andrew gulped. "Sam?" Sam got up and glared at him. Then she turned to Paulina. "What were you guys talking about?" she asked. Paulina cupped her hands together at her chest. "He was saying the most wonderful things about me!" she said. Andrew slapped himself in the head. "So you were...let's say...flirting?" Sam said. "Oh yes!" Paulina said in her oh-so-annoying voice. "Interesting..." Sam glared at Andrew. "Wouldn't ROSE like to hear about this..." she said. "NO!!!" Andrew burst.

....BACK WITH DANNY....

Danny opened his eyes. Rose's ghost was neck high in powder. "All I need to do is..." he felt a power surge through him. Must be the adrenaline inside him, or maybe something else he didn't know, but his tore himself of the wall with the chains still on his limbs. It took all his strength so he grew weak. He heard Typha scream, "Nooo....!!!" And something crashed to the ground. Danny fell to the cold floor for the first time since he came to this place and looked up. The hourglass had fell and broke over Rose's dead body. 'Would you still love me if this didn't work?' Danny thought.
